but I just think the Supes theme is too similar to Star Wars.


They both have march-like qualities, are in the key of C-major, and use almost exact instrumentation in similar ways (trumpets have the melody most of the time, flutes and lower brass have accent/reply notes, violins play melody during the "trio"). The same goes with Indiana Jones. Of course, to a person who's never been a professional musician, they sound the same.

I would argue that being a musician more easily clues a person into just how similar they actually are.

I'd argue, as someone that has performed all three of them in an orchestra before, a musician is more likely to draw comparisons both in the structures and themes of his various "original" works.
